A ‘campaign’ has called on the British public to put an end to a ‘worrying’ new trend of forming a single file queue in pubs and instead restore the age-old tradition of queueing at the bar.
So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.
A pub I go into encourages people to not form queues, that’d be great if the staff could keep track of who is to be served next. Which they don’t. So people queue and do so in a way sociopaths can’t skip it.
Whole good bar staff should be able to do this, there’s a degree of etiquette from the punters that’s always been in play too, if you know someone was up the ramp before you, you tell the bar staff if they try and serve you first.

This makes a lot of sense. Essentially this will only happen in a bar that has bad bartenders that can’t do their job very well.
If the bars don’t want it happening, they need to have better service.
